Jerry works very hard to put this one over the top. Check out his last solo

Hartford Civic Center

They almost never got this song right, so it's no wonder they stopped playing it. This time they did. Bobby doesn't oversing, drummers are on it.

Jerry and Bobby Space, uncharacteristically grounded and coherent, leading into the best St. Stephen of the '83 revival

Candyman

Nassau Coliseum

Beautiful version. Lots of subtlety and emotion in Jerry's vocal. He kills it in the solo and his lick before the repeated chorus at the end cuts like a knife.
Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Huge version with heroic solos. Billy is the driving force.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
May 14, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Another great mysterious, meandering jam out of Saint and into a great Comes a Time
Terrapin Station
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

Love the emphatic singing and angry riffs from Jerry
Uncle John's Band
May 8, 1980
Glens Falls Civic Center

Jerry's middle solo is brilliant. Cutting, piercing.
